So thankful that the ads are coming to an end!

I had no line. Probably had something to do with the polling place being moved since 2008, and no sign was posted at the old place directing people to the new place. New location is hard to get to on foot, in a precinct where many voters don't drive. No bike rack either, and they wouldn't let me bring my bike in with me. Seriously. They were prepared to refuse to let me vote because I came by bike and was not willing to leave my wheels leaned up unlocked and unguarded outside. Stood up for myself and they ended up letting me vote with my bike present.

While out walking my dog very early this morning, I had the honor of being able to help 6 of my fellow citizens find their new polling locations (a lot of local precincts have been moved over the last 4 years). That's an election day mitzvah...

My brother who is now in Columbus OH had an interesting day. He was expecting to have problems, as he hasn't gotten an Ohio driver's license yet. So he put on his best suit and brought printouts of Ohio voting law with him, and did his best imitation of a lawyer. He managed to vote despite being challenged, and helped 2 other voters who were about to be turned away.

So, how was your election day? Hopefully less exciting than what my family faced!
